History
Early plans for the Interstate Highway system already envisioned a western bypass of Little Rock connecting I-30 to I-40. The highway was built a little later than the I-30 and I-40, and was opened to traffic in 1975-1976.
Between 2009 and 2015, the ‘Big Rock Interchange’ between I-430 and I-630 was reconstructed. Originally a cloverleaf with no shunting lanes, it features a dive-under for traffic from Financial Center Parkway to I-630, as well as four flyovers for traffic between the two freeways. The work was completed on 8 July 2015. In 2015-2016, the flyovers of the interchange with I-40 were replaced by two-lane flyovers. This coincided with the widening of I-40 between Maumelle and Little Rock.
In October 2019, plans were announced for a rush hour lane on the bridge over the Arkansas River.

Interstate 440 or I -440 is an Interstate Highway in the U.S. state of Arkansas. The highway forms the eastern bypass of the state capital Little Rock, and runs from I-30 to I-40. The route is 16 kilometers long.
Travel directions
The highway begins on the south side of Little Rock at a major interchange with Interstate 30 and Interstate 530. I-30 comes here from Dallas and Texarkana, turning north here, while I-440 continues straight east. Heading south, I-530 heads toward Pine Bluff. I-440 has 2×3 lanes here and serves the city’s airport. On the east side of Little Rock, the highway crosses the 700-foot-wide Arkansas River with a bridge, then turns north. I-440 then ends at the interchange with Interstate 40. SR-440 then continues straight north, while I-40 from Little Rock to Memphis goes east.
History
I-440 was the last Interstate Highway built at Little Rock. It is primarily intended as a bypass for through east-west traffic from I-30 to I-40, so that the truck flow from Dallas to Memphis does not have to go through downtown. I-440 opened in two phases in 1982 and 1983, the last of which opened the bridge over the Arkansas River.
The extension, State Route 440 from I-40 north to US 67, was under construction around 1994 to State Route 161, this section likely opened around 1996, although the interchange with US 67 was not opened until 2003.

Future
The I-440 may in the future together with the Interstate 430 form a complete ring around Little Rock, of which the SR-440 was already built in 2003.
Traffic intensities
I-440 is not very busy, with between 72,000 and 48,000 vehicles per day. Because 2×3 lanes are available, this does not lead to congestion.
